PORTLAND, Ore. —

The cycling community is concerned after a pair of tripwires were found suddenly by bicyclists in two separate locations in Northeast Portland.

On Monday around 8 a.m., Portland police responded to a report of a material strung across Northeast Irving Street east of 16th Avenue. When officers arrived the material was no longer spanning the roadway.

Then on Thursday, a cyclist found another tripwire, this time across a mountain bike trail at Gateway Green Park.

The cyclist took a picture and sent it to local mountain biking groups.
